What's The Over/Under?

Donaghy Receives 15 months Despite Cooperation


Former NBA referee Tim Donaghy was sentenced Tuesday in a New York court to 15 months in prison for his role in the betting scandal that has rocked the league.


Donaghy, 41, pleaded guilty last August to conspiracy to engage in wire fraud and transmitting betting information through interstate commerce.

Vegas has also reported odds as well on his 15 month stay in prison. The over/under for Donaghy tossing another inmate's salad is 4 days.

Good luck Tim!!!

I put my bet on the under...sorry. Maybe you can at least look forward to being the referee for the Prison Basketball League.

"Kobi, tell me how my ass tastes?"

I know what you're thinking...these brilliant lyrics must have been from a great singer song writer such as Springsteen, Wonder, Lennon, or Dylan...but they weren't. These classic lyrics were written by Shaquille O'Neal.

Do you really think if there was You Tube back in the 50's and 60's that you would catch Bill Russell doing something this classy?

I guess he would have done one about Wilt Chamberlain his biggest rival.

Check it...
You know how I be...
Last week Wilt couldn't win against me

While Wilt was trying to get 20,000 in bed
I spent my time winning 11 for Red

Everybody...
Wilt...tell me how my ass tastes.

Be Like Mike

Now that I'm back on the band wagon and cheering on the Celtics I've started to think back to the last time I was actually excited about watching basketball.

The last time I was excited was when this guy was playing. I was a die hard Celtics fan but I don't care who you were growing up in the 80's/90's everyone was also a Michael Jordan fan.

The song says Be like Mike, not Be like Kobe. Jordan is still the greatest.

Sam Bowie who? I guess the one positive thing that Sam Bowie can be happy about is that at least he didn't lose 168 million in a divorce.

The Hulk or Larry Bird?










Is it just me or should Ed Norton be playing Larry Bird's life story vs. playing The Hulk?

Ed is starting to look like a skinny version of Larry these days.

The Hulk and Larry Bird have a lot in common:

-Both are very tall: The Grey Hulk stands at 6 feet 6 inches tall and Larry stands at 6 feet 9 inches tall.
-Both had troubled childhoods growing up which defined their future.
-Both have mild mannered personalities until they get mad and then dominate their competition.
-Both are defined by the color green.


The Hulk also has one of the greatest & fastest healing abilities in the Marvel Universe. He can heal in a matter of minutes from wounds that would prove deadly or incapacitating to nearly everyone else.

This is very similar to Larry. He had one of the greatest & fastest healing abilities in the NBA Universe. He can heal in a matter of minutes from wounds that would keep anyone else out of a playoff game.

Check out Larry's super human strength in the clip below. Go Celtics!!!
